This animation shows daily total precipitation estimates for 1990 from the Daymet model. These simulations used about 1700 observation stations as input. Output was generated on a grid with 10km resolution. The effects of topography are diagnosed by the model. These results illustrate the effect of Daymet's precipitation occurrence prediction algorithm: blank areas were estimated to be dry for the entire day. New Daymet runs for the U.S. are underway, using about 6000 stations, with daily output covering the period 1980-1997, on a 1km grid. Results from these runs will be available over the Internet early in 2000. See the University of Montana's EOS Training Center for more details and updates on the availability of the 1km U.S. Daymet output.
